2 see to their needs, and then take your place,To share in their joyand receive a wreath for a job well done.
3 You who are older, it is your right to speak,but temper your knowledge and do not interrupt the singing.
4 Where there is entertainment, do not pour out discourse,and do not display your wisdom at the wrong time.
5 Like a seal of carnelian in a setting of gold:a concert of music at a banquet of wine.
6 A seal of emerald in a work of gold:the melody of music with delicious wine.
7 Speak, young man, only when necessary,when they have asked you more than once.
8 Be brief, say much in few words;be knowledgeable and yet quiet.
